PTG Database Analysis

After a three-year gap, PUBG Nations Cup returned to Bangkok from June 16 to 19, 2022. The official announcement listed 16 national squads, while the later format notice set the main competition at 20 matches across Erangel and Miramar under the SUPER point system.[1][2]

Team UK won the edition and its share of the $500,000 base prize pool. The return also reinforced the event’s commercial model: item sales were designed to increase the pool and provide direct support to participating national squads, a mechanism repeated in later editions.[2][3]
